Newbury Town Hall - Heritage Quiz
Thank you for taking part in Newbury Town Hall's Heritage Quiz. Normally for Heritage Open Days, would usually open our civic doors and welcome the public into our beautiful building, however this year we are sadly unable to do so. So instead, a small quiz has been put together to test your knowledge of Newbury Town Hall and it's history.

A display has been place in the notice board facing the Market Place outside the Town Hall, if you study this display you will find many of the answers you need to complete this quiz.
